I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Big P henceforth almost always drowns grantees in paperwork. Huge grant applications. Massive reporting requirements. And often significant restrictions on how the money can be used. All of it adds up to big cost, big hassle and inflexible funding

I was very impressed by the support McGill alumni provided last year to offset the tuition increases Quebec imposed on students from the rest of Canada. I'm not an alum but joined them in giving, and am renewing my support this year.
